Of the 32 unique institutions that make up these lists, 19 are US-based
institutions. Of the remaining 13, there are two each from France, Korea,
and Japan, and one each from Australia, Bangladesh, Denmark, Germany,
India, Sweden, and England.

The institutions tend towards a strong correlation with the highly cited
authors. For instance, Harvard ranks at #1, and Harvard-affiliated
researchers John Mekalanos, Steve Calderwood, and Matthew Waldor all appear
on the author lists. Similarly, the University of Maryland (Rita Colwell),
Tufts University (Andrew Camilli), ICDDR (Firdausi Qadri), Gothenburg
University (Jan Holmgren), Johns Hopkins University (David Sack, Richard
Sack), Princeton University (Bonnie Bassler), NICED (G.B. Nair,
Thandavarayan Ramamurthy), and the International Vaccine Institute (John
Clemens) also have member researchers in the top 20 author lists.

Citation tables allow us to map compelling trends:

Are there particular nations or institutions that might be expected
to dominate research in the Topic area, and do the numbers bear out
these expectations, or are there surprises?

Who are the leading scientists and where are they located?

While these tables cannot offer a complete picture, the number of trends
and anomalies that can be spotlighted or connected across categories is
striking. The tables often lead to renewed perspectives to further explore
and validate.
